NURSERY NEWS. 



AMERICAN ASSOCUTION OF NURSCRYMEN. 



Pres., E. Albertson, Bridgeport, Ind.; Vlce- 

 Pres., Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md. ; Sec'y, Geo. 

 0. Seacrer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches- 

 ter. The Slst annual convention will be held at 

 Dallas, Texas, June, 1906. 



EvKEGEEENS, by C. S. Harrison, York, 

 Neb., a companion to his Peony Manual, 

 has just been issued. 



The spring season will see stiffening 

 prices on nearly, all lines of clean, well 

 grown nursery stock. 



The business in peach trees in the fall 

 sekson of 1905 was the greatest of any 

 auramn season to date. 



The discriminating planters are call- 

 ing for the newer sorts of lilac in con- 

 stantly greater number. 



While stocks of Baby Eambler rose 

 are large, it is predicted that the supply 

 will be far short of the spring demand. 



John M. Stevens is now proprietor 

 of the Palisades Nurseries, SparkhUl, N. 

 Y., transferred by F. H. Henry, receiver 

 for Clucas & Boddington Co. 



The Department of Agriculture has is- 

 sued a pamphlet showing the organization 

 of the Forest Service, what it is and how 

 it deals with forest problems. 



W. T. Mann, chairman of the commit- 

 tee on fruit statistics of the New York 

 State Horticultural Society, figures the 

 apple crop of the state in 1905 to have 

 been about 17,000,000 barrels. 



L. L. May & Co., St. Paul, will in- 

 troduce this season a new Minnesota 

 seedling apple, Minnetonka, for which it 

 is claimed that it will restore the lost art 

 of apple-growing in that state. 



In their local horticultural society in 

 Orleanjs county, New York, 100 men each 

 pledged themselves at one time to pay 

 any sum required, pro rata, up to $10 

 each to fight the San Jose scale. Their 

 motto is: "Better fight it out on the 

 other man 's place than ours. * ' 



W. L. Waddell, an agent for the 

 Henry Lake Sons Co., Black Eiver Falls, 

 Wis., has been arrested, charged with 

 forging orders for nursery stock and 

 securing the commissions on the sales. 

 He recently visited Madison, Janesville 

 and Beloit, Wis., and had just begun 

 work at Eockford, 111. 



There was a meeting of the Texas 

 Nurserymen's Association January 25, at 

 Palestine, called by President E. W. 

 Kirkpatrick and Secretary John S. Kerr 

 for the purpose of preparing for the 

 entertainment of the American Associa- 

 tion of Nurserymen when it meets at 

 Dallas in June. As the State Horticul- 

 tural Society meets at the same place 

 the same day, there was a good attend- 

 ance. Texas proposes to do credit to 

 Stanley Watson and his persuasive ora- 

 tory.

MILLEPEDES. 



I am sending you an insect and would 

 like to know what it is. I have had a 

 very fine crop of them. I have got them 

 killed and the ground was covered with 

 the dead by the million. They come out 

 of the ground in the night and work on 

 the foliage. E. H. G. 



The insects in question are millepedes, 

 of which there seems to be an unusual 

 number this season, judging from the 

 number of inquiries that have been re- 

 ceived regarding them. The eggs of this 

 insect are buried under the surface of 

 the soil, and hatch out in a few weeks, 

 and it is at this stage that they have ap- 

 peared in such numbers. It is generally 

 considered by scientists that the mille- 

 pedes eat decayed vegetable matter chief- 

 ly, though we sometimes find them feed- 

 ing upon the young growths and roots 

 of certain plants. Strong nicotine vapor 

 will kill many of these insects after they 

 come to the surface of the ground.
